Joburg Super Kings vs Pretoria Capitals Match Analysis

The 13th match of the 2024 SA20 takes place on Saturday night at Wanderers Stadium between the Joburg Super Kings and the Pretoria Capitals. The Capitals are two points ahead of the Super Kings after one win and two losses, with the last two teams having three losses and one tie.  Johannesburg kicks off this game at 17:30 local time.

In their three games thus far, the Joburg Super Kings have lost by 98 runs, 37 runs, and seven wickets with 35 balls remaining. If they want to win for the first time on Saturday night, they will need to develop as a team because several of their best players have not performed up to par thus far.

The Pretoria Capitals were competitive in their first two games, but they lost before surprising the Durban Super Giants by 17 runs. To win this game, the Capitals may need another strong individual effort, but they have the players to provide.

Joburg Super Kings vs Pretoria Capitals Team Preview & Squads

Joburg Super Kings

Despite having so many talented players, the team’s batting hasn’t connected yet. Their leading scorer, Leus du Plooy, amassed 120 runs at a strike rate of 164 in 3 innings. After a brilliant knock of 71 off 43 balls against Paarl Royals, he was the last man remaining in the previous game.

The legendary openers Reeza Hendricks and skipper Faf du Plessis must perform well for Johannesburg to succeed. Du Plessis, who had a poor run thus far this season, was their top run scorer the previous year. However, we do believe that he will play this match and return to form with a bang.

This year, Lizaad Williams has been the team’s mainstay in the bowling attack, taking six wickets in three innings at an economy rate of 10.10. Both Nandre Burger and the ever-dependable Imran Tahir have performed brilliantly, taking three wickets apiece while keeping the opposition bowling somewhat tight.

Pretoria Capitals

In the last game, Will Jacks spearheaded the attack with a brilliant 101 off just 42 balls. He hit nine spectacular sixes and eight fours during his innings. Additionally, Jacks has performed a fantastic job with his off-spin, capturing three wickets at a 6.16 economy rate.

With 122 runs in 3 innings at a strike rate of 165, Rilee Rossouw is the team’s second-most successful batter this year and another player to keep an eye on. In the previous match, Colin Ingram also displayed some form, hitting a rapid 43 off 23 balls. The good news for Pretoria is that if he gains momentum, he can cause havoc.

Due to the lack of consistency from its key bowlers, Pretoria has struggled as a bowling unit. Captain Wayne Parnell has traveled at an economy of over 13 while taking two picks. Every bowler except Jacks has been leaking runs.

However, Eathan Bosch appears to be a promising player and ought to perform well in this match.
